This is not as bad as it sounds. You recall the 529 who were sentences to death last month for killing the poor police officer, four hundred some of them later having their death sentences commuted to life imprisonment? They each had a share in the man's death, so they each must pay the penalty, was that judge's apparent rationale. In the present case, the judge may feel that each of the defedants had a proportional responsibility for the unrest so each should serve a proportional sentence: ten years divided by 102 gives about 0.1 year per defendant, 36.5 days in jail: a small price to pay for "liberty under law". The headline didn't say they were "each" sentenced to 10 years.
Several of those convicted we're deceased or out of the country at the time of the protest that resulted in the man's death. Which makes a mockery of the judgement.
